Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Girls just wanna have fun and that's why jewelry and acrylic nails were invented, LOL.

Self-photos

I have never been photogenic and have always hated being photographed. Even when I was a kid. But now-a-days I find myself constantly taking pictures of myself, like this one I took at the post office. What a geek! I just like looking at the new, improved, getting better all the time, me. It's a good feeling.

The San Luis Obispo Chapter

It was short and sweet. I got to live in beautiful San Luis Obispo for a couple of months. I would have taken more pictures an appreciated it more if I had know that it would be so short lived.

These Hands

For the past twenty years these hands have tended babies, washed dishes, driven the carpool, made crafts with the Girl Scout troop, made heart-shaped lunch sandwiches, brushed knots out of hair and folded countless loads of laundry. They are the hands of a housewife, mother, Girl Scout leader and parent club president. Now I am reclaiming them. They might do the dishes if I am in the mood, but probably not! (Ha ha ha). These are my hands. May 18, 2008.

The Beautiful Life

Woo hoo, I've lost 80 lbs since I made that last layout! Life is beautiful!

Before I Was Fat

Journaling: "These photos were taken in the spring of 1987. I was 22 years old and had just come back from living a year in the Philippines. This was my lowest weight of my adult life. A few short months later I was married and pregant with my daughter, and just kept on gaining weight from there. Now at the age 43 I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been and will use these photos as inspiration and motivation for what I can be. While I can never regain my youth, I can certainly take control of my figure and regain my life!"
